History

Have been around for approximately 5,000 years, but they were not actively cultivated as food until the Middle Ages. Over a century ago, chives were used by Gypsies in fortune telling. Medieval gardeners often used chives around their borders for both decoration and to ward off insects. At that time it was also thought that hanging bunches of chives around the house would ward off evil.
